Download a series of sound effects from one of the first commercially available analogue synths - the classic EMS VCS-3 - to use in your Logic Pro or Logic Express songs. There are 6 EXS 24 instruments patches to download and use in your tracks.

The EMS VCS-3 was first released in 1969 and to this day remains a highly sought after sound module. With its wooden housing and angular design, coupled with the unique patchbay and joystick, the EMS VCS-3 looks cool enough to find a home in any studio.

Due to its limited connectability (CV only communication), the EMS VCS-3 is better used in todays studios as a sample source or to be recorded directly over tracks. The unique matrix style patchbay did away with the use of cabling, instead opting for a pin ststem layed out on a grid.
